This lovely Vietnamese restaurant on the south side of Edmonton is proof you can find good pho outside of Chinatown. While the menu offers many tempting items besides pho, it’s hard to resist a big bucket-sized bowl of savoury liquid, filled to the brim with slippery rice noodles and thinly sliced beef.
This restaurant offers up plenty of interesting Vietnamese combinations that I’ve never tried before, my favourite being the mango, chicken and apple in red curry sauce. The thick, stew-like sauce is just the right combo of spicy and sweet. The green onion cakes are a secret treasure – one of my friends swears these fluffy cakes are the best she has ever had. If you’re into healthy, try the Thai salad. It includes spinach, chicken or prawns, onion and peanuts in a light, zesty sesame dressing.
